Unobtanium Bushings

Any one know of a place to get them, I have a high mileag (117K) FD, and plan on keeping the car forever, so i dont care how much money i put into it.

Everywhere I call, they say ran out, coming in stock in 3 weeks but never come, anyone know any shop that has them?

hey! cool man,
keep that FD as long as you can.

If I were you, i'd go for a record in mileage.
thatd be cool, first to 200k or something, hehe.

You should just save your money and do a complete revamp at some point.
dont do little bits and pieces one at a time, cuz things will just keep breaking.

I am the only source for a set of Unobtainium bushings at this time. Price is $650, including shipping, and I have a few FD3S sets available immediately on receipt of payment.

If you're interested, please send me an e-mail at jimlab@earthlink.net with "bushings" in the subject.

Thanks

i did some business with him in that past and to be honest it was faster than jason. now as i have been talking to jason there really isnt anyone id rather do business with. RMS kinda sucks ***. try calling their number and you will see that the phone doesnt even work. i think we should make a sticky somewhere telling people not to pay so they dont have to go through a headache about never getting anything.
kris
jason is informative and good to deal with

DO NOT order from Rotor Motor Sports! Many people, including myself, have ordered from him in the past 6 months, and he basically took the money and didn't send out the parts. The last thing I've heard is that he has disappeared. His phone doesn't work, and when I send him emails it gets returned.

well if you know where he lives maybe you can help the unfortunate take legal action. i hate to see people get robbed, especially when its supposed to be such a big company. oh yeah, this was a thread about bushings

it may be cheaper to just get the originals from Mazda.

10 years aint too bad, that is probably the route i go.
